Summary edit

Description

Leaving the French nobility behind, today we visit rural Ireland in the Stereo Pairs collection. This fine view of a river with bridge and weir has a super POV and is very nicely composed. The masses of wild flowers in the foreground make it quite idyllic, but we questioned whether the weir standing up to a winter flood....

.... and indeed the weir is now gone from (as the team have established) this stretch of the River Erne near Ballyshannon.
